I have purchased inspirion 17r special edition recommended model for about 1 month now. I am confident with my choice and feelings and want to share with people who are willing buy a laptop. I REALLY REALLY love this laptop. It only takes about 3 days free shipping and it is absolutely amazing. If you can hand on 3D and blue ray version laptop, definitely do so. It will not let you disappointed.

Pros: fast processing, huge,clear 1080 display. 1TB hard drive gives you plenty of space to store your favorite songs and movies. Also perfect for working and gaming. The laptop speakers are excellent. It sounds as loud as external speakers. You don't need to buy external speakers at all. The display is glossy. You can watch 1080 movies on the laptop. When there is a sunshine on the screen, you are still able to see all characters clearly. With Nvidia graphics, you can play almost all 3D games. I play Call of Duty 3 and it runs fantastic in my laptop. My laptop runs quietly in most apps besides games. After hours of use, it is still very cool.

Cons: Due to the big size, it is kind bulky for portability. It only runs less than 3 hours with battery. Battery lives need to improve. Perfect for desktop replacement. It doesn't take a lot of space in the bedroom or in the workroom. Due to 1080 resolution, a lot of characters in applications are smaller than normal. For example: I need to zoom in about 133% to make internet characters to normal size in Firefox. When you purchase this laptop, you need to adapt small characters for a while.
